I have tried running the scraper multiple times with known instagram accounts and it is returning 404's

Correction, this seems to only happen when using the proxy: "proxy": {"useApifyProxy": "True"}

Hello, can you link a specific run where this issue appeared, so we can investigate further? Thank you!

When I now look back at the runs that failed they are now populated with data and do not show the 404 error?

Should I understand that as the problem being "fixed"? :)

Hi Jakub,

It looks like it happened again, here is the link to the run: https://console.apify.com/actors/runs/0sdRhH39gKH9sEKpy#output

Hi! Follow up: please do not specify proxy in input unless you sure that proxy IPs will be residential. From your run input

1{
2  "proxy": {
3    "useApifyProxy": true
4  }
5}

means you referencing Datacenter proxies and all calls to Instagram will be blocked. please either add

1{
2  "proxy": {
3    "useApifyProxy": true,
4    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL]
5  }
6}

or better just do not provide custom proxy settings.

I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
